Owens Corning Duration Roof Replacement After Hail – Dawsonville, GA

A single-family home in Dawsonville, GA sustained hail damage severe enough to warrant a full roof replacement through the homeowner’s insurer, The Cincinnati Insurance Companies. The project called for a durable, wind-rated system that would restore protection quickly and cleanly. Installation took place on 12/17 and was completed in one day.

Project At-a-Glance

• Roof size: 4,255 sq ft (≈42.5 squares), rounded from 4,254.71 sq ft.
• Shingle brand & color: Owens Corning TruDefinition® Duration® – Driftwood.
• Insurer: The Cincinnati Insurance Companies.
• City: Dawsonville, GA

Challenge: Restoring a hail-damaged, steep-slope roof without disrupting daily life

Hail compromised the existing architectural shingle roof, and the home’s roof geometry included multiple hips, ridges, and pitches up to 10/12–12/12 that demand extra safety and staging. The homeowner needed a fast, one-day turnaround with a clean site at the end of the project.

Solution: A code-compliant Owens Corning system built for reliability

We installed an Owens Corning TruDefinition® Duration® roof in Driftwood to deliver long-term performance and curb appeal. The system build included synthetic underlayment, shingle-over ridge vent for balanced attic ventilation, new black drip edge, and properly flashed penetrations with new pipe boots—paired with an Owens Corning Preferred Protection limited warranty for added peace of mind. Tear-off was one layer, and the crew completed the work in a single day.

• Removed the existing roofing down to the deck and disposed of debris.
• Installed ice & water protection at eaves/rakes and critical transitions as specified.
• Laid synthetic felt underlayment for secondary weatherproofing.
• Added shingle-over ridge vent at the ridge lines to improve exhaust airflow.
• Replaced drip edge in black for clean lines and better water management.
• Flashed all penetrations and details, including pipe jacks, chimney, and step flashing.

Result: Leak protection, better ventilation, and renewed curb appeal

The new roofing system restored full weather protection after the hail event and improved attic exhaust via continuous ridge ventilation. The Driftwood architectural profile elevated the home’s look, while one-day production minimized disruption for the property owner in Dawsonville. The homeowner now has a durable roofing system supported by manufacturer coverage and a contractor workmanship warranty, providing long-term peace of mind.
